MIT Experiment Finds ChatGPT-Assisted Writing Weakens Student . . . ChatGPT-assisted writing dampened brain activity and recall in a controlled MIT study [PDF] of 54 college volunteers divided into AI-only, search-engine, and no-tool groups Electroencephalography recorded during three essay-writing sessions found the AI group consistently showed the weakest neural
Study Shows Handwriting Leads to Widespread Brain . . . The brain activity was recorded and analyzed to study how different brain areas connected during each task Researchers from Norway wanted to peer inside the brain during handwriting and typing They recruited 36 university students , each wearing a high-density EEG cap with 256 electrodes
Handwriting Boosts Brain Connectivity and Learning This study used EEG data from 36 students to compare brain activity while writing by hand and typing Handwriting, whether in cursive on a touchscreen or traditional pen and paper, activated extensive brain regions, vital for memory and learning
